Rule 164-2-12 | Natural resources assistance council (NRAC) methodologies.
Natural resource assistance councils shall, on an annual basis, create methodologies to be used in evaluating and ranking project applications submitted to the council. These methodologies shall be submitted to the director for review and approval or disapproval. If the director disapproves the submitted methodologies, the director shall communicate the reason(s) for disapproval to the council, and the council shall revise the methodologies and resubmit them to the director for approval. NRAC methodologies must include a two-tier tiebreaker using the methodology's criteria and a minimum score. If a council is not going to change its methodologies, the council shall notify the director that the methodologies will not be changed. NRAC proposed methodologies shall be submitted to the director along with the annual program schedule. The program schedule shall set forth the timing requirements for submission of applications and the processing of applications by the district and shall include a current roster of the NRAC members and their contact information. NRACs shall provide applicants a period of no less than ninety days after the director's approval of their methodologies to accept project applications.
